The nearby eclipsing stellar system δ Velorum - III. Self-consistent fundamental parameters and distance

Context. The triple stellar system δ Vel (composed of two A-type and one F-type main-sequence stars) is particularly interesting because it contains one of the nearest and brightest eclipsing binaries. It therefore presents a unique opportunity to determine independently the physical properties of the three components of the system, as …
